The talented canine joined owner Ashleigh Butler as they jetted off for a promotional tour of New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas – and the mogul spared no expense in flying them over there in first-class style.

Pudsey was right at home in his new surroundings, as he curled up in one of the jet’s luxurious leather seats.

Ashleigh admitted that it was all a far cry from the days when they were in the Britain’s Got Talent finals – and had to stay in a budget hotel.

‘When we were on Britain’s Got Talent all the contestants were in a really nice hotel,’ the 17-year-old revealed, ‘and we were in a Premier Inn because they wouldn’t let Pudsey in. It’s very different now though.’

The talented duo – who will perform for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance in November – are set to become millionaires as a result of their new-found fame.

They pocketed £500,000 in prize money after becoming the first act featuring a dog to win Britain’s Got Talent, and since then have increased their earnings with a series of public appearances.

They are also thought to have secured a £150,000 fee to appear in panto this Christmas, while the pair’s publishing deal with Little, Brown – for Pudsey’s ‘autobidography’ – is thought to be worth £350,000.
